6266. The Moody Blues - My Song
 |
| From: Every Good Boy Deserves Favour; Year: 1971; Genre: Progressive Rock/Symphonic Rock |
Pulled my vinyl records out of the case last night, towards the end I came upon my collection of classic Moody Blues records. There is just something you cannot quite quantify about the feeling of actually holding the sleeve and disc in your hand. Even though I have not played them in a long time, I am glad I still have them.
Anyway, this album in particular I had to stop and look it over and peruse the gatefold as well as peer in at the vinyl. The cover art of this one for some reason has always caught my attention in physical form; it was done quite well.
This song, or rather My Song is the final track on side two and is a perennial that I like to hear. This is one written and sung by the late-great Mike Pinder, who apparently wanted his vocal to sound "spacey," so they actually placed a box on his head and thinned out the sound to make it sound like a communication from orbit, of at least a facsimile thereof.
